In the summer, we signed a 12 month lease to rent a house, which had been languishing on the market for 18 months. I had not yet relocated and did not see the wording on the lease was such that despite it being a 1 year lease, should the house sell, we would have to vacate within 30 days, lease or no lease. My boyfriend claims the realtor at the time said the 1 year would trump all, and we could stay to the end of the lease– which doesn’t seem to be the case now.

I don’t want to leave her in a cage all day just *in case* someone wants to see the property, nor do I want anyone trying to handle the dog to take her outside, etc. I am afraid of her getting out of the front door, the yard, biting someone, and confining her to a room with a baby gate would not work because she will throw herself at it i
